The popular media and casual fan storyline right now is that Andy Reid is returning to Philadelphia tonight, but the reality is, that will only be interesting for the first five or 10 minutes of NFL Network's broadcast.
Once the game is rolling, Reid will be an afterthought.
And that's a good thing, because this is one of the most enticing matchups you'll ever see between two teams that won four or fewer games in the previous season.
Both were terrible last year, but there's plenty of talent on each roster and they're both riding early waves with new coaching staffs in place.
The Chiefs are off to a 2-0 start under Reid. The offense looks efficient with its new quarterback as well as familiar weapons Jamaal Charles and Dwayne Bowe, while the defense is tearing it up early at every level.
The Eagles are 1-1, but that new-look Chip Kelly offense is second in the league in yards and yards per play while ranking third in points.
Philly's at home, which is often a big advantage on Thursdays, but that Eagles defense—the one that was ripped apart by San Diego in this very same venue four days ago—is the weakest unit in this game. That could be the difference in what might be a surprisingly thrilling matchup to kick off Week 3.
Here's a final preview from Philadelphia's perspective, along with a prediction.
Thursday night | NFL average | |
Home team winning % | .620 | .564 |
Home team point differential | +3.0 | +2.3 |
Pro Football Reference
What Philly Must Do to Win, Offensive Edition
The Eagles might have been able to cruise against Washington and San Diego's defenses, but this is a whole new ballgame. The Chiefs are giving up only 3.8 yards per play on defense, which leads the league, and they've been especially stout against the run.
It won't be easy for Michael Vick to make some big plays while avoiding mistakes, but that's what has to happen if Philly stands a chance.
What Philly Must Do to Win, Defensive Edition
Shut down Jamaal Charles and Dwayne Bowe, or at least limit those two weapons. This defense could be in big trouble. Last week, the Chargers toyed with the group at the line of scrimmage, forcing it to show its hand and then exploiting its many weak spots.
The Eagles haven't had enough time this week to remedy that issue, and now they have a more efficient offense led by a coach who knows the personnel very well.
Their only hope is to focus on the big guns and remain disciplined, avoiding big plays. Thus, if I were Bill Davis, I would go easy on the blitzes this time around.
Five Most Important Non-Quarterbacks
Lane Johnson: The rookie had trouble with Dwight Freeney, and now he'll have to go up against the younger, faster and stronger Justin Houston. That could be very problematic if he isn't ready to play.
Jason Kelce: The entire offensive line has to play well Thursday night, but Kelce will be dealing with red-hot Chiefs nose tackle Dontari Poe.
LeSean McCoy: If the Eagles want to get things going on the ground against such a stellar defense, they'll have to neutralize Poe and find unique ways to get at that front seven.
DeSean Jackson: He'll have his work cut out for him against that secondary, but the Eagles have to figure out a way to stretch that defense out.
Player | Team | Yards |
1. DeSean Jackson | Philadelphia Eagles | 297 |
2. Julio Jones | Atlanta Falcons | 258 |
3. Randall Cobb | Green Bay Packers | 236 |
Pro Football Reference
Injury Analysis, Eagles Edition
The Eagles continue to be remarkably healthy. Cornerback Brandon Hughes was recently placed on short-term injured reserve, but ESPN has Bradley Fletcher listed as probable after missing Week 2 with a concussion.
Everyone else looks ready to go.
Who will win Thursday night?
Injury Analysis, Chiefs Edition
Top corner Brandon Flowers was limited in practice all week with a knee injury. ESPN's Ed Werder reports that he's expected to play, though, and they'll also get nickel man Dunta Robinson back. Sean Smith is a great cover man too, so DeSean Jackson and Co. will have their hands full.
Elsewhere, Jamaal Charles and Branden Albert are practicing without limitations.
B/R NFC East Blog Prediction
The Chiefs offense is good, but not what scares me. The defense is just so much better than Philly's, though, and that's the difference in this game.
I think it will be even because the Chiefs are traveling on short rest and facing an unpredictable opponent, but I just don't think this Philadelphia defense can stop anybody right now. I predict the Philly offense meets its match and the Chiefs eke out another close victory.
Keep in mind that these Thursday night games are typically lower scoring than Sunday and Monday matchups.
Chiefs 24, Eagles 23

Magic Says Lakers Will Beat Spurs
Posted April 12, 2013 - 06:54 AM

Parker is a bad mann, and with no one to keep up with him I think he would run the spurs offense pretty nice against us and run right past us as well.
he is but if you let Tony P go off only & stay at bay with rest of players = Tony is not a gr8 enough scorer to force LA out of the game like Kobe can do to any team when he is SG & being himself as scoring threat predominately. (not being the PG like he has been forced to be this season)
Posted April 12, 2013 - 08:36 AM
never will hate on magic. i agree with him, we could beat the spurs.

The little brunette stewardess in the green miniskirt eyed the army sergeant sitting in the aisle seat of the 727 bound from Seattle to Dallas. She took in the five stripes he wore and thought he appeared rather young for the rank, but then she saw the overseas bars on the sleeve of his winter class A uniform. A quick glimpse at his chest showed a triple row of ribbons on his left breast. A little older than he looks, she thought, and just back from 'Nam; probably, with money burning a hole in his pocket. Good looking, too, with that dark hair and those dreamy brown eyes.
"Would you like something to drink, Sergeant?" she asked, leaning forward slightly and smiling more than a little slightly. She had a week's leave coming with nothing on her agenda and the sergeant looked interesting. Besides, she was getting a little tired of the crowd the other stews ran with. They seemed to consist mostly of airline pilots, whom she was tired of, or shallow characters in gold necklaces and leisure suits, with the pockets of their suits usually filled with dope of one variety or another. A military man might be a welcome change of pace, she thought, even if her friends did consider them dour and too restrained for their tastes
Sgt. James Williard scrutinized the legs beneath the green miniskirt and let his gaze travel up over the rest of the stew's body. Her matching green top was well filled out. He had a hard time getting his eyes to travel up to her cap of wavy dark hair and a lightly freckled face with full lips and pert nose. Nice, he thought. "I'm not a sergeant."
The stew raised her brows. "You couldn't prove it by the wayyou're dressed."
Williard smiled, with a hint of regret behind it. "I just got discharged. I'm on my way back home." What he didn't say was that until six months ago, he had been a lieutenant, courtesy of a combat commission. Then the war wound down and he found the army was overstaffed with medical service officers. Reluctantly, he accepted continued service at his old rank but soon tired of the peacetime army and decided to try civilian life for a while, though at first he had been uncertain of what that would entail. Now he thought he knew; that is, if his brother's plans worked out. Sometimes they did, sometimes they didn't. Jason was the wildest of the three Williard brothers. Compared to him, Williard thought he and Jerry were boy scouts, a contention no one else who knew them would believe.
"You say you're going home. Do you live in Dallas?"
"Yup. You got some rum?"
"Sure. Be right back," the stew said. She put a little extra wiggle to her behind as she departed.
After his years in 'Nam, Williard appreciated the wiggle. The rum would go down nice, too, he thought. After 36 hours spent tramping around through intermittent rain at the out processing center in Seattle he was more than ready for a drink. One of the last stops had been the clothing and tailoring shop where his well-worn fatigues had been exchanged for dress greens. The army insisted newly discharged personnel leave the base looking like an advertisement for a recruiting poster, ignoring the fact that most of the soldiers would rather have been boiled in oil than wear a uniform out into the world. He glanced at the empty seat beside him where a winter dress coat lay, also bedecked with ribbons and overseas bars and stripes.
Williard was unimpressed. By rights, the coat should have sported lieutenant's bars rather than sergeant's insignia. He was still pissed at the army over that. The only token on either of the garments he was really proud of was the combat medic's badge, earned during the Tet offensive when the Medical Dispensary he was in charge of was almost overrun. That action had also gotten him a purple heart, his combat commission and a brand new appreciation of what it was like to go without booze and women for extended periods of time. Hence, his interest in the stew and her cargo.
"Here you are," the stew said, bending over to deposit a two-ounce bottle of airline light Bacardi and a plastic glass of ice on his tray. She leaned far enough forward to give him a brief glimpse of what lay beneath her blouse.
"What the fuck-- I mean what the hell is this? I ain't going to drink no rum without no Coke." Whoops! Have to start watching my language, he thought. Obscenities came out as easily in the field as spit from a baby, mostly at the way the army usually fucked up operations.
"Oh, sorry about that," the stew said. "Be right back again." Hearing the ex-sergeant talk added zest to her errand. He had spoken in pure Redneck, her favorite language when it came from the right person.
Williard hardly thought about his grammar. He could speak perfectly good English when he chose, but right now, he didn't feel like bothering. All he wanted was to get outside of a few of those little bottles of rum and inside a set of civilian clothes. Or inside the stew, whichever came first.
"Here you are," she said, setting down two plastic glasses of coke and another of the miniature bottles of Bacardi light.
"The extra one is on me," she prompted.
Williard grinned, accepting the gambit. "Right. My name's Jim."
"Hi. I'm Terry, as in Very."
"Interested, it seems. Me, too. Do you have any clothes at your place?"
"Like, to wear?"
"Or unwear. This uniform don't suit me no more."
More redneck talk, and his grin was infectious. "I think you look handsome in it. Were you in Vietnam?"
"Yeah, but I didn't look so handsome in dirty fatigues. And this f-- this uniform is going to be hot in Dallas. I want to get out of it."
"I think I can safely say I can help you out there. Wait on me after we deplane. I've got to get busy now."
"Don't get too busy to keep the rum coming."
"You got it, Sarge." Terry said. She winked and left. While she was tending to other passengers, she found herself wondering whether or not the sergeant was married. The thought surprised her. Usually she didn't worry about it one way or another, taking her fun where she found it. Suddenly she wondered whether she was getting old, or at least old enough to start at least thinking of settling down.

If you like variety in your adventures in life, then get yourself a pith helmit, mosquito and shark repellent and be sure to pack a life jacket when you take the trip with the Willard brothers to the Congo on a dinosaur hunt. Also, bring your sense of humor as this tale will have you smiling a lot at the situations the brothers create for themselves. From the land of Mafia-financed bankers to the land of the Pygmy people where the dinosaur is reputed to live, the Willard brothers will conduct you on a fast-stepping tour of the world. The three of them have just exited various branches of military service and turned up at their sister's home and from there plans are made to go on a dinosaur hunt rather than submit to the nine-to-five routine of ordinary life. Is this just a needed step they must take before giving up the excitement of risking their lives to settle down? Do they really believe in the existence of the dinosaur? How will they finance this trip? Join in the fun as the Willards and their new girlfriends seek out the answers. A fun read from beginning to end, a rollicking time to be had by characters and readers as the story unwinds. From a near riot at a country club to a hike in deep mud pulling a raft, the action is continuous. Lots of surprises along the way. A tale written by a master story teller, one you will definitely enjoy. I sure did and recommend it as well worth the time.

Measure is one of several to prevent future data losses
Top officials at the Department of Veterans Affairs recently completed an inventory of all employees who have access to the department's sensitive data and are analyzing the results. VA Secretary Jim Nicholson ordered the inventory after the May 3 theft of a department laptop PC that contained about 26.5 million records on veterans and active-duty members of the military.
The internal inventory assessed employees' need for sensitive data and how they accessed the information, such as through paper files, electronic databases or virtual private networks. Nicholson did not say how he plans to use the inventory, but the department will likely winnow the number of VA employees who are authorized to access sensitive data.
Nicholson discussed the VA's reforms for tightening information security and consolidating information technology programs during a House Veterans' Affairs Committee hearing. At the June 29 hearing, he announced the recovery of the stolen laptop.
Nicholson has ordered a thorough security review of all VA laptops, including the removal of unauthorized data and a review to determine whether encryption programs are necessary. He asked for recommendations on protecting sensitive data.
"I am convinced that, coming out of a very bad situation, we can make the VA a model for data security in the government and in the country," Nicholson told the committee.
Despite lawsuits by several veterans groups and grievances filed by labor unions, he said, the VA is moving ahead with steps to tighten internal security, centralize the IT programs of the department's three administrations and help veterans affected by the data theft. The critics say the VA's proposed IT centralization plan violates collective bargaining agreements.
Last month, Nicholson established the VA information security program, which will establish standards for accessing VA information systems and require officials to report compliance failures or policy violations immediately. He also ordered annual cybersecurity and privacy awareness training for all VA employees.
Nicholson told the committee that the department has hired an independent special adviser for information security, Richard Romley, a former Maricopa County, Ariz., district attorney.
He also announced that retired Adm. Patrick Dunne is working at the VA as a consultant while awaiting Senate confirmation to become assistant secretary of the Office of Policy, Planning and Preparedness.
The staff shakeup included the resignation of Pedro Cadenas Jr., who was acting deputy assistant secretary for IT. Acting Assistant Secretary Dennis Duffy, who was placed on administrative leave after the data theft, has retired. And the unnamed official whose laptop was stolen from his suburban Maryland home remains on administrative leave, VA spokesman Matthew Burns said.
Alan Paller, director of research at the SANS Institute, said providing the VA CIO with greater authority is very important. But Paller added that Nicholson is between a rock and a hard place because "he'll never have enough resources to meet the unmeetable [security] requirements" set by Congress and secure the VA's IT systems.
Meanwhile, the VA's plan to provide free credit monitoring to veterans affected by the laptop theft, at a projected cost of $160.5 million, is on hold. The department "will make a determination about the proposal once it receives information on the results of the FBI's more thorough forensic examination of the recovered computer equipment," Burns said.

Thanks. You should have seen me in the actual 2003 cartoon. I could walk through fire and beat up most of the Turtles on my own. I mean, in the 80s, they made me look like a fool, but in the 2k3 show, I'm not.
Thanks to the vesti, this image and the pose the dog is in will forever be ingrained into my mind as a perverted thing...
I wasn't asking for likes. I was wondering who the people with severe brain damage were, thinking I've actually said anything worthwhile on these boards.
I know you weren't, I just thought it was strange you didn't have more. I also think that was the first compliment I've seen of yours, so it was good enough. Would you like me to take the like back?
You do what you want. Also, wtf. I just called AT&T and the guy was actually really nice and sounded happy. WTF IS THIS?!!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? WHAT IS HAPPEN!?!?
They tend to do that. My old neighbor had one, the dog would come over at random times to attack my shoes.
Might as well share a pic of my pet as well. Yeah, yeah. Lay off of me, I'm not photographer like you guys. ¬_¬
Meh Ive had a cat once... it was boring I gave him away to my friend who adores cats and got myself a dog lol(Bracco, the one that died )
A couple different ways. She runs in a way that resembles a rabbit, and when she's walking she either stands up and walks in a way reminiscent of a raptor, or she does this difficult-to-describe waddle.
Actually, no. We named her Socks, because naming her Mittens wouldn't have been very fitting. And Sam, that's nothing. She chases her tail in a way that makes her look like she's break dancing.
3-4 hours into Lonesome road, still got another half an hour left. Safe to say I underestimated the size of this DLC. (fo:new vegas)

Student Religious Expression in School: Is it Religion or Speech, and Does it MatterGilbert A. HolmesUniversity of La Verne - College of Law Winter 1994 University of Miami Law Review, Vol. 49, No. 2, 1994 Abstract: This Article does not advocate the constitutionality or permissibility of all student religious expression. Instead, this Article suggests that identifying the contexts in which students express their religious beliefs – curricular, ceremonial-functional, and extracurricular – and distinguishing between students' private religious expression and their programmatic religious expression may be a preferable way to determine when student religious expression is constitutionally permissible in public schools. Part II of the Article discusses the development of students' constitutional rights generally and religious rights specifically in the public schools. Part III will define student religious expression and discuss the treatment of it as speech and as religion in the various contexts of public school. Part IV discusses the constitutionality of programmatic and private student religious expression. Part V applies the thesis of the Article to relevant cases.

Excessive sweating while working out - is something wrong?
I'm in what I've considered good shape. I'm a 23 year old male, about 6 ft tall 165 pounds. I've noticed lately at the gym I have been sweating massively. So much that afterwards I can literally squeeze my shirt and see sweat come off. More so, when I'm working out, I sweat in normal places such as my face, neck, but I also sweat a lot on my arms and hands (I can liteally see sweat on my arms and hands!). It's quite embarrassing cause I leave the gym with a soaken shirt, and the area around me that I work at (the eliptical for example) has sweat spots from me dripping that I have to wipe off. I have been drinking a lot more water than usual (about 4 to 5 liters a day), but I've been doing that for a few months now.
Is this normal, or is something wrong with me?
I sweat a lot when I am working out too. I think some people just sweat more then others.
My arms and hands get shiny too...I sweat alot but not as bad as you. Sweating a lot to me means I gt a good work out :)
Actually, I read recently that as you get in better shape, you sweat more profusely. Apparently it is a good sign.
I actually sweat a lot too. I've also heard that you sweat more as you get in better shape. I think it means that your body is becoming more effective at cooling itself while you are working out. Just thought I'd add my two cents =]
Wow, I sweat alot, too!!
I've never worried about it too much. Sweating helps get rid of excess sodium and toxins, so I just always assumed that it was doing more help than harm.
But I'm glad to hear that people sweat more as they get in better shape! That just boosted my ego.
Seems okay then. I was just worried..I leave the gym soaken wet..and I look at others and they might have "patches" of sweat here and there..I've yet to see anyone really like me!
It's not so much the sweat that bothers me, but the smell! lol
I seem to end up smelling of ammonia by the time I've finished my 50 minutes of cardio. Is this normal? I've read various theories as to why this happens, one being that it means you're in ketosis???
I thought it might have been a chemical reaction between my sweat and the washing powder I use.
sound normal to me. I know I worked hard when I sweat like that. I sweat so much sweat drips off my elbows. I get sweat allover the treadmill. I as well always thought it meant you are working hard and I'm getting the sodium and toxins out.
I sweat like a little piggy. Feels good!
As you build up your endurance, your body gets much more efficient at cooling itself off.
I start out fine, then about 5 minutes in it's like I took a shower.
The good part about it, though, is that as soon as I'm done, the sweating stops.
Between the 5 minute cooldown and about 10 minutes of stretching, I stop sweating completely.
This was my shirt after a 30-minute elliptical session the other day:

This is actually 2 requests. I have someone taking a bus from NYC to Toms River. Then taking another bus to Manahawkin. Does anyone know where the Manahawkin stop is so I can pick them up? Has anyone used a better way getting back to the city(Penn Station or grand central)? Thanks
The Manahawkin Bust stop is on Rt 9 about a quarter mile north of Rt 72, right by the lake parking lot, across from the old Carroll's building that is now a bunch of shops. A much better way back is to catch the Academy Midtown Express from the Forked River rest area. Here is their schedule:www.academybus.com/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=SiWkQkNmHgY%3d&tabid=71&mid=475
When my wife was still working in the city, she took the bus to Toms River and I drove up to Exit 81 on the Parkway and picked her up there -- we thought it offered fewer chances of missed connections.
Like Dave says The Manahawkin bus stop is on rt 9, right near- diagonally across- I think- from the Dunkin Donuts on Bay Ave. (This will help if you're googling the directions) The stop is on Manahawkin Lake- you'll see a gazebo/grassy area. NJ Transit does not list the exact location of the stop, so we weren't sure how to find it either when we picked up our guests.Yes you can drive to Toms River or Forked River, but if you're on vacation, you may not want to.By far the easiest way is Transport Azumah - direct service to/from NYC -9th Ave, behind Port Authority. They bring you right onto the island, stopping at various points north and south. It is however more expensive, the trade off being you don't have to take precious vacation time picking up guests. Here's the website:www.transportazumah.com/TAZ10Good Luck!!!!
Thanks for your helpful imformation everyone.
Oops - Dunkin Donuts at Bay Ave and Rt 9 has been gone for a while!
Thanks for that update Dave. Didn't know that it had closed- it's been two years since we picked someone up there -just recall there was one nearby (my sister-in- law, who is a big DD fan asked that we bring back coffee.) Google, however, will still give you directions to the now closed store. The store is of course, no longer listed on the DD website.I'm sure that Sandyshoes will be able to find the bus stop.
There is a bus service from midtown right to the island. My husband has used them on occassion, and I know someone who uses it regularly without problem. Azumah bus service. There are not as many times available as the other bus companies but if it works with your schedule its great!
yankeemom-I looked up the website for Azumah bus service www.transportazumah.com/servicesI never knew there was a bus route from NYC to LBI.
If traveling from LBI back to NYC, just be sure you're waiting right at the designated pick up spot. Wave to let the driver know you're there. Last return trip we had to chase the bus down - driver simply just passed the person by. This "problem" of the driver not seeing or recognizing a person as a passenger was also reported on their website. Because there is no official bus stop signage and waiting passengers may be pacing and wander away from the stop, the less-conscientous driver could well leave without you. Otherwise, it's been a great convenience for us to have guests and not have to make that trip to Manahawkin, especially on a nice beach day.
The Azumah bus service from NYC worked out good. It was a van and there were seven passengers and he was dropped off in Holgate about 10 minutes later than scheduled.
Great to hear that SS. I believe, depending on the number of passengers booked, you would get either a bus or a van. It's just so convenient!

75w90 would be the right stuff to put into the trans. Have you looked into Subaru Extra-S as trans fluid? Also, when you drained it, did you notice any larger than normal or excessive amount of shavings? Weird that it grinds in a few gears, are you sure your clutch is fully engaging?
Try the Andrewtech cocktail in your transmission:
(1x) 1 Liter Motul Gear 300 75W-90 (3x) 1 Quart Redline Lightweight Shockproof Gear Oil 75W-140 Add 1 Qt Redline, then 1 L Motul, then top off with Redline (you won't need all of the last Qt). After shopping around, I found the ingredients for roughly $32 + shipping. |
yes i almost always rev match... its has been a little "hard" to shift since i got it but nothing like this... its not supposed to grind going into another gear with the clutch in... unless its reverse. I was just wondering if anyone has had anything similar happen or know what may be causing this change( not really concerned with the hard shifting as much as the grinding... i think i lower weight oil will help with the hard shifting when cold..)
1. It's a popular transmission fluid cocktail that's known to minimize or solve minor shifting issues in many Subarus. 2. It's not terribly expensive (~$33 w/o shipping if you shop around... last I checked anyway). I like to start with cheap fixes because sometimes they work. |

The crowd that gathered to watch the final of the recent National Club championship was evidence that the game has a following in Tamil Nadu. But to expand its fan base, better marketing and infrastructure are a crying need
As Indian Overseas Bank captain Ukkrapandian entered the Trustpuram Corporation Grounds in Kodambakkam for the final against ONGC (Dehradun) in the National Club volleyball championship on Sunday, fans waiting outside the venue urged him, saying, "We have come to see you play, please let us in." A helpless Ukkrapandian replied, "If there is space in the gallery, they will let you in."
J. Nadarajan, an organiser of the championship, had to issue entry cards to ensure the makeshift gallery (it can accommodate around 3,500) was not put to undue strain. "I expected a big crowd, but didn't think people would throng the venue like this. On the final day, the turnout was unexpected. We had nearly 1000 people waiting outside," he said.
Meena Mahalingam, chief coach of the Southern Railway women's side, was surprised at the number of spectators. "It was maddening. This was never expected. I have seen such a crowd only in Kerala," she said.
Overwhelming success
Organised by the Chennai Spikers Volleyball Club — comprising mostly former India players — the National Club championship was an overwhelming success.
In Chennai, it being an outdoor venue, the turnout was unprecedented. "When we conducted All-India tournaments at the Sivanthi Volleyball Club (Egmore, outdoor), the Nehru Indoor Stadium and Santhome (indoor), there wasn't such a large crowd," said IOB's chief coach P. Sundaram.
Commenting on the quality of the competition, J. Nadarajan, a former International, felt that except for teams such as IOB (Chennai), BPCL (Kochi) and ONGC (Dehradun), the other teams seemed pedestrian. "They too should try to be like these three teams. They should strive towards professionalism. Only then will the quality improve," he said.
Mahalingam felt that instead of four teams in the women's category, the organisers should have included three or four more teams. "The competition would have been tougher and we would have benefited from more match practice," she said.
Indoors vs outdoors
The debate about playing volleyball in indoor or outdoor venues continues to rage. There is no doubt that volleyball is an indoor sport. But how to draw a crowd to indoor venues is the big question. There are only a few indoor stadiums in Chennai, and not many elsewhere in Tamil Nadu. To conduct a tournament indoors, you have to spend more on marketing to attract a crowd. Whereas when the game is played outdoors, more people would gather to watch (entry free).
Ukkrapandian was of the view that if more clubs such as Chennai Spikes Club came forward to conduct major events, volleyball would have a bright future.
To watch Selvaprabhu (IOB) jump for a spike, Ankit Choudhary (Western Railway) smash, those Tom Joseph (BPCL) touches at the net, Vaishnav (IOB) and Subba Rao's (ONGC) blocking skill, and Ukkrapandian's setting are a delight. All this only goes to prove the charm of the sport.
The Volleyball Federation of India has to market the sport better and take it to the masses. Wide publicity coupled with better facilities (infrastructure and finance) for the players, will pave the way for Indian volleyball to reach greater heights.

Holy Scripture, both in the Old and New Testament make it very clear that the "pronounced word" is a very powerful thing. Also that the whole nature of "naming" and "recognizing" a thing by that "name" also is powerful with far reaching consequences. Abortion is MURDER Diogenes... That's what it is... Justifying it is insanity.. But allowing REBELS to exist within the Church in an organized fashion... That is even worse.

Blogging the Good Blog Post
There are such a lot of blogging police about these days, telling us 'how to' and 'how not to', but when all's said and done, I reckon the majority of us blog what we like. And that, in my opinion, is exactly how it should be. I've had people emailing me in the past, telling me how to improve or change my blog, what I should write about, what I shouldn't, but all their emails get deleted into the ether, because frankly, this is my blog, not theirs.
I do feel proud when people ask me for blogging tips because it makes me assume I'm doing something right. I've given several tips on this blog, all from my own experience and research, i.e., discovering what works for me. Another phrase I hear often is "blogging etiquette". There is such a thing but it's definition is "common sense". If I read and enjoy a post I'll leave a comment. If I read and disagree with a post, then again I'll leave a comment - maybe not what the author wants to read but still, a debate is healthy interaction in the blogosphere. If I read but dislike a post, then I tend not to comment because I think there's nothing worse than leaving negative comments just for the sake of being awkward or unnecessarily pedantic. But something that should always be welcomed in the comments section of a blog post is an opinion.
Therefore, in my opinion, anyone can write a good blog post. What you want to say is right there, at your fingertips. Show the world you're not afraid of the blogging police and make your blog stand out. If you want to follow blogging etiquette then do; but remember that if you don't, your blog is still as good as everyone else's. Because you're out there, doing what you feel is right and not what others feel is wrong.
70 comments:
Thank you for that post, I am always worried I am doing something wrong but will just get on with it now :)
ReplyDeleteYou know that you *totally* kick ass, right? I may even be inlove with you. Awesome post.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree that this is your blog and you should write whatever you want, as should all other bloggers.
The thing is, people dip their feet into this crazy world for so many reasons; some to just have a place to write, others to network and meet people, but many use it as a platform for bigger and better things.
I know I've given you advice before and links to blogs that I feel are really 'making it'. I know there a lot of bloggers who dream of being able to do this as their day job and I suppose I thought you were amongst them. You have an incredibly readable writing style and a life that many people either dream of living or love reading about. I guess my point was that if you wanted to make this blog bigger/better/profitable, you could absolutely do it. That isn't to say though that what you are doing right now is wrong. I read you every day and LOVE what you do. If you didn't change a single thing I'd still be here! However, if you did try to take the next rung up the ladder, I'd wholeheartedly support you in doing so.
Your life, to you, is probably just 'normal' but to others it's interesting. Why do you think you have so many followers? You could take this wherever you wanted it to go.
Just my twopenneth :)RepliesAnd a great twopenneth it is too, Elaine. You also know how to write a great comment. I'm really grateful for your offer of support, we've known each other online for a number of years now and your loyalty is much appreciated. I've never been interested in making money from my blog though, because I always feel it will take the joy out of blogging - will put too much pressure on an activity I choose to keep as a hobby x
If only all bloggers had the confidence to follow your advice and to just blog for them and be themselves. Sadly many people that come to blogging are vulnerable due to other issues and seem to find it hard to make their own way and not follow the crowd.
Great stuff CJ. Mich xI adore writing my blog and it doesn't worry me in the slightest if someone disagrees about something on my blog. As you say, Debate is healthy as long as its not done in a horrible or rude way. I blog because it gives me a medium to get all my thoughts down. I love this little part of my life that only my husband and son know about. In an ideal world I'd love to make it pay so I could give up my crappy job but thats never going to happen but one can dream. It pays me more than money ever could anyway. Plus, I have made so many wonderful friends through blogging. Your blog has always been a great source of inspiration to me.xxxx
ReplyDeleteOh CJ if only every blogger could understand this. In fact every person in the world. I dance at home in private. Why? Because I'm rubbish at it and couldn't inflict it on anyone else but I do it for the same reason I blog; I like it.
I think that what is going on in the blogging world right now is going to bring a lot of people back to "basics" which may be a good thing!RepliesI reckon you're right, Pippa. Going back to basics is never a bad thing. There have been so many changes, some for the better, a lot for the worse, and a lot that have been unnecessary. But blogging has always been that one hobby I've enjoyed doing, even on the days I've wanted to give up!
You get enough people telling you what to do in so many aspects of life don't you? My blogging is mine, and I'll use my own criteria to fill it! I love reading a variety of blogs and like you, learn something new all the time, makes for a richer life!
ReplyDeleteI think anyone who publicises a guide on how to blog is trying to mystify a simple process, usually for their own end. Brain, fingers, keyboard. That's all you need!
ReplyDeleteI am a firm believer in doing what makes me happy. I am not sure it is the "blogging police" or just lots of other bloggers giving advise etc. I think that people shouldn't be afraid to stand out in the crown and do what makes them feel good.
I for one am just a little peeved at all these posts about blogging. Stop looking for validation people and start blogging.RepliesI think a lot of people are afraid when it comes to blogging, simply because of the competitive streak that we as humans, possess. We all want to do well at what we do and that's my point; we are all doing well and none of us should be afraid to write or publish our thoughts.
I actually enjoy reading and writing posts about blogging, Jen. What I don't like is reading posts that tell me "how to" blog and what not to do when I'm blogging.
Fabulous post, CJ. I found myself very recently thinking about something and then blogging about it. That's what I used to do and what seems natural to me. And those posts have got more views and comments than many of the planned and scheduled ones. I love that my blog has become a bit more professional, with more book reviews and vegetarian recipes that end up repinned or linked to on Trap.it, but what I first enjoyed most about blogging was just sharing my thoughts about (family) life and now and then making people think. And I think some of the most popular blogs (like yours, m'dear) are popular exactly because that's what they're doing - blogging about what they think about, what concerns them, what makes them laugh, and so on.
I wonder if, as Pippa says, we might end up with a certain amount of going back to basics, which might turn out to be quite a nice thing.RepliesI always try to write in order to make people think, though I know some of my posts don't really warrant interaction as such. I know what you mean about spontaneous blogging - writing what comes naturally rather than having to ponder for hours on end. They are usually the posts that bring in the most interaction.
Well said. I have to admit I've worried in the past about writing certain blog posts I want to write and whether I might 'upset' someone. But recently I've decided to just write it if that's what I feel like doing. I get the sense that some recent posts I've written have gone against the mood but I think if we all write how we want to without worrying too much then we have a lot more varied content out there. No one should worry about the 'blogging police' but I can understand why they do.
ReplyDeleteRepliesI can understand why they do, too, especially when people write in order to earn a few bob. It's understandable they want to get their blog post just right and that's a whole different issue. I've always written on this blog in order to attract an audience but I must admit, even I have started to write more for myself rather than others. The blogging police don't scare me. I'm 'ard. LOL
Write what you will and be happy with yourself. I have started my teenage daughter blogging. Mostly I wanted her to have an out besides school work and friends. Something that was just for her. It has turned into a bit of a photography/ fashion blog and she loves doing it. Mine is just me and what I get up to. Nothing more nothing less. I take a few extra hints and suggestions sometimes but I don't want anyone policing me about it all, telling me how to or what to do. I agree with a lot of your commentors above.
ReplyDeleteLet your true self keep shining through. People want to engage with the real you, not some watered-down conformist.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, as always CJ. Blogging should be what the individual wants it to be whether that be in a personal, literary or commercial sense. In this day and age, yes readers do matter but they arrive (and return) to read the content that the blogger has produced rather than demand what is to be written.
ReplyDeleteat the end of the day as long as you are happy with what you write...the rest is hot air...i have learned a lot about writing through blogging...
ReplyDeleteJust keep blogging away and write about what you want. Its good to rant sometimes too! I do it all the time.
Going back to your comment on mine...feel free to link up any time I write in a similar vein. I would be honoured!
Maggie X
Nuts in Maycompletely agree, its such a personal and subjective thing and people either get it or they dont but I dont like it when I get a sense that someone isnt being 'themselves' iykwim
ReplyDeleteI'm actually really shocked that you've had people contact you offering advice for what to write about and how to improve your blog - how rude is that? Damn right it's your blog, and good for you for keeping your feet on the ground about it. I think it's great just how it is!
ReplyDeleteApart from the bloggers who just use their blog to make money I think blogs are personal things and it's entirely up to the owner what they write about. :)
ReplyDeleteI just blog like it's a diary of the days or week's happenings...I cannot stand the Blog Police! I'd rather they just keep going!
hughugsI had just written about my weekend and thought it sounds as though I should get a life but then I read your blog and thought she is right just write how you feel and want you want. My blog is never particularly witty, sometimes it is about my family and sometimes just what I have done but it is my blog and as you rightly say it is up to me what I write.
PS I always like your blogso true, wonderful words. this might just be a fantastic blog post :). I am often/always surprised at what people seem to love on my blog and what goes unnoticed. Just today someone told me they were reading a post which had inspired them - I kid you not when I say it was a 5 minute rant of a post with very little thought and no planning. I guess it just shows that blogging is less in our control than we think.
ReplyDeleteRepliesThanks, Emma. (I hope it is a fantastic post, lol.) It's usually the case that those quick posts are the best. I've written many over the years that have brought in a massive amount of interaction and have been whipped up in 5 minutes. Yet I've deliberated over posts for hours, sometimes days, and received hardly any interaction!
I always love getting comments on my blog, to me it shows that someone has thought it interesting to read. I blog what i like when i like, i blog in my own words, i don't try to make myself someone i am not. That is something i learnt a long time ago. I am Me and if people don't like my thoughts or ramblings then they don't have to follow me. If more people listened less to what other peoplw say then the world would be a better place- Or maybe i'm being naive in thinking that most people have common sense and decency
ReplyDeleteI always mix it up. To be honest if I over reviewed I would feel that i wasn't human ! I like to interact and tell people something of my life and hopefully they will find it useful .
ReplyDeleteI agree, I find it frustrating when blogging advice recommends having a clear vision/ focus. I like all different things and want to be able to cover whatever I want to focus on in that moment. In the same way, I recently had to decide what I wanted to with-hold and I decided that, for me, some things are too personal to blog about considering the nature of my job and that once out there, a blog is open to anyone.Rx
http://sandersonsmithstory.blogspot.co.uk/This is a great post, I'm so glad you wrote it. You totally lead by example, showing us that we shouldn't worry about what others think and should blog for ourselves. I think that's inspiring
ReplyDeleteThis is very true. Although I have now been blogging for a year I still consider myself a relative newbie, and therefore it is easy to get sucked into the hype surrounding how to write a good post. But I enjoy my blog more when I write just for me really- it feels good and if people pop past and have a read then that is fab. I'm not sure I want to be under pressure to get posts out or do too many reviews, so they will just come and go every so often. Good for you to speak up :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you mention this...I started stressing about the do's/dont's of blogging a while back and ended up not posting for a bit because I was so unsure of it was the 'right' thing or not.
I decided after a while that I was going to write about whatever interested me and I'm much happier for it.
Whether it's a good thing or not I can't tell, but hey ho I'm having fun doing it :)
Fab post CJ. xCJ, what an absolutely lovely post!
I agree with your blogging philosophy (if that's what you call it!).
I hesitate a lot when writing posts, and think that what I have to say is not interesting, and only sometimes remember that most of all I'm writing my blog for ME, as my diary.
Great advice here.RepliesThere are many times I write a post and wonder if I've done the right thing. I've also deleted published posts in the past because I've had second's thoughts about it. People have noticed and asked where such and such a post is when they went to find it. We have a right to publish or delete any posts we write for our blog, that's one prerogative of having a blog in the first place.
I am surprised that anyone would try to tell you - of all people - how to improve your blog! So many of us think that it's one of the best. Agree with many of the other commenters that writing for yourself works best of all x
ReplyDeleteI tend to write for myself, but memes also help top tease a little bit more out of me, about me, aswell. People have told you what to write? Really? What an odd thing to do. Its thanks to blogging that I have discovered that maybe, just maybe I can write .... and I am thinking about doing some sort of creative writing course.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this CJ, you are so right. We should be just doing whta feels right for us. I had a few moments when I was worried about what others will think, but not anymore. I am blogging for myself, and if someone doesn't like it... they don't have to read my blog. Miss tweeting with you, hopefully more time soon ;)))
ReplyDeleteI love reading other people's blogs, of all kinds. Obviously some are more interesting than others. Very rarely do I find one I actually don't want to read. However, when it comes to my own, I often worry that it's perhaps not up to standard. I'm still very new to blogging, so I suppose I have much to learn.


text: Dance-Punk is a type of Punk music originating in the late 70s. The genre mixes the energy of punk rock and post-punk's experimentalism with the danceable rhythms of Funk and early Disco (although distinct to the similar punk funk style; dance-punk tends to be smoother and more synthetic than the latter, and less closely associated with post-punk's abrasiveness). It was mainly prominent in new york's punk music movement and had close associations with the late 1970s no wave scene. Key artists included ESG, Lizzy Mercier Descloux and Liquid Liquid.

The Sketchy Scene
The vitality of the local music underground depends on illustrators and artists who do more than just bang on their instruments
By Michael Mechanic
SOMEHOW, DESPITE ALL ODDS, THE Santa Cruz underground music scene has managed to stay viable. It's not that enthusiasm is lacking. The trouble is an absence of small venues willing or able to book non-mainstream local acts and a scarcity of affordable halls in which independent promoters can stage small shows.
Apart from 50 or so active bands, a few promoters and a handful of guerrilla performance groups, those perhaps most crucial to the survival of the struggling local scene are those multi-talented individuals who combine noise-making with other creative talents, from elements of dance and theater and graffiti art to the graphics that adorn album and video covers, concert posters, skate decks, local zines and underground comics.
It is these artists who build a visual and contextual backdrop for the sonic mayhem this town has to offer, although it is a rare occasion that people can see their work concentrated in one place.
To remedy this, Curiosa, a downtown Santa Cruz store that specializes in subculture, is hosting a show featuring work by 11 of these local characters--opening on (wouldn't ya know it?) Friday the 13th.
The show runs through the end of January and will include work by the artists profiled in this article, as well as Mia Osaki, bassist for the Muggs, Greg Davis and John Diaz from performance art band Saw and singer/guitarist Tait Reed from Junk Sick Dawn.
Here, then, are the other notables.
James Reitano
AT 15, JAMES REITANO bombed his first wall, behind the late Club Culture, just to prove to his homies he could paint. Originally inspired by the connection between graffiti writing and hip-hop, in which he was then immersed, the teen-ager later became more interested in other musical forms. "Our whole take is that it wasn't just a hip-hop thing," he says. "Hip-hop adopted graffiti and not the other way around."
An easygoing guy with a slightly olive complexion and a ready smile, Reitano sings and plays guitar for local rockabilly trio Buddys Riot. His off-the-wall drawings, particularly his comic Blurb, incorporate numerous categories of music and different cliques of street dwellers who operate within a graffiti-laden cityscape.
Two years ago, he and his pal Nate found themselves in the clink for bombing an illegal wall. "We were sitting in the jail and a cop came over and says, 'Hey, why don't you guys use your skills to become graphic artists?' " Reitano recalls. "And Nate says, 'He is a graphic artist!' and the cop looks at me and says, 'Dude! What are you thinking?' "
Currently employed in the art department at Santa Cruz Skateboards, Reitano, at the advanced age of 27, has pretty much retired from the risky writer's lifestyle, though he remains one of the co-conspirators behind Hole in the Ozone, a zine for graffiti writers. Reitano and other locals also were recently featured in a graffiti art show at Atelier Gallery called Ignite the Fuse, for which opening invitations closely mimicked the form of an SCPD citation and were surreptitiously plastered on car windshields of unknowing friends.
He still gets teased by hip-hop oriented writers over his change in musical taste, but none can rightfully slag Reitano's noted skill with a Krylon can. "I wanted to add a little more to it than the 'Yo! Fresh!' thing, and I started meeting other people who shared my outlook," says Reitano. "I've met hippie writers, punk writers, whatever."
Jimbo Phillips
FOLLOWING IN HIS father's footsteps, "Jimbo" Phillips, 27, has made a name and career for himself in skateboard and rock poster art. Never a musician himself, Jim Phillips Sr. made his name in the 1960s, '70s and '80s doing skateboard art and show posters for the likes of the Doors. He currently does posters for Bill Graham Presents.
Jimbo, who picked up drums mainly to fuel the fire of local punk band the Undecided, draws in a style influenced by his father and cites the influence of artists like Basil Wolverton (Mad magazine) and Robert Williams, who is known for outrageous paintings, comics and album covers.
"I'd say the music affects the outcome. It's drawn me toward skate art," says Jimbo, who has drawn for companies and labels including Sessions, Thrasher magazine, Flapjack Records, NHS and 60/40 Skateboards. Some of his posters and deck designs were recently featured alongside his father's in a skate-art exhibit at the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History.
"With punk shows, I try to do something outrageous to grab you," says Jimbo of his strident work. "The computer printouts get the point across, but they're boring."
John Connell
THE LAST time I interviewed local renaissance man John Connell, he was intensively focused on learning to play the sitar. He was also playing guitar in a quite unusual local group called Violet Skull Troupe--consisting of himself, a keyboardist and two dancers--who entranced audiences with strange lighting, elaborate costumes and droning Eastern-influenced music.
But Connell, 31, is too much of an explorer to stick to any single art form. VST is now defunct, and Connell has given up the sitar. For the most part, he has also left behind the underground comic world, where he once regularly drew in his characteristic bold, sharp, black-ink-on-white-paper style, influenced by the likes of comic artists Jim Woodring, Charles Burns and R. Crumb.
"I used to like to drink and draw. I did a lot of real gross pornographic comics that people liked a lot," Connell says. "I don't think it's funny anymore, but I'm infamous for how sick I was."
Connell, who started drawing at 3, has done show posters, comics, and zine and record covers. He has dabbled in print making, painting, bronze sculpture, dance, theater and DJ mixing in addition to his other musical instruments. "I like performance, because you can integrate all the things you like into one thing," he says.
To that end, Connell recently was involved in a local dance production in which he danced, performed live original music on guitar and piano innards, and used his newfound DJ talents to mix the recorded portions of the soundtrack. He hopes to soon perform with his turntables, using them as musical instruments, and play the guitar simultaneously.
"I don't just like music, I like building stuff," says Connell. "I love all the art forms, but I'm most interested in music because it's accessible to almost anyone."
Mat Fitzsimmons
MFITZ, AS HE LIKES to sign his drawings, is a friendly, somewhat reclusive fellow who draws and sings for his band, Herbert, both with a high degree of intensity. Mat Fitzsimmons is a protégé of the "comic-book influenced" school of art popularized by poster artists Frank Kozic and Coop and practiced by Jim and Jimbo Phillips, whom Fitzsimmons cites as a strong influence.
The singer works mostly in black ink, using bold, sharp lines to create the sorts of images of skulls, alien idols, twisted characters, grinning devils and buxom she-devils that are popular with members of the skateboarding community. "Skateboarding and skate art are both real visual experiences," says Fitzsimmons, 23. "It's an activity where people will be checking things out and they see the work on the boards. It's a real bold graphic type of art, and it's meant to capture the eye."
Fitzsimmons, who has been drawing seriously for 12 years, makes his living airbrushing Ward Coffey surfboards and has produced graphics and fliers for local bands, zines and skate equipment manufacturers.
The tortured lyrics he writes for Herbert tend to reflect his darker thoughts. "People have told me when they read my lyrics and look at my artwork they see a connection--I don't so much myself," he says. "A lot of the time it can be drawn back to similar sources. I'm interested in the occult and witchcraft and organized religion, sometimes in the falsity of Christianity."
Chris Gonzales
IT'S OFTEN HARD to pinpoint Chris Gonzales' location, since he lives in a van and has no phone. His music and artwork are equally difficult to peg. Gonzales, 25, plays drums for local band Exploding Crustaceans and is the guitarist and lead singer for Gorehounds, a punk-metal trio who initially had videos playing onstage containing the most violent and gory clips from numerous horror and slasher films (they stopped doing it after realizing the videos were stealing the show).
Last Christmas, Gonzales distributed to friends a homemade four-track demo--Chris Gonzales: The Man, The Myth, The Dummy--containing dozens of his own side compositions. Similarly, a glance through the sketchbooks of the Stockton native reveals multiple drawing styles, a taste for the truly perverse, the cynical, the haunting, the humorous and the ironic. There are mechanized cowboys gunfighting, punk-rock archetypes, penises on horseback, faceless drone people, vaudeville dancers, people's heads being blown off--you name it.
"It's mostly venting out anything that is violent I might have about my character. That's my outlet," says the artist, "I'm sure there are people who don't get it or get offended."
Humor and depravity are also key elements in his music. Consider Gorehounds opus "TV Sucks," which complains the medium isn't violent enough, or their pop song, "I Can Eat Bagels Everyday" ("I like 'em best," sings Gonzales, a Bagelry employee, "when there's some kind of salmon or tuna right on the top").
"I think a big part of my life is to keep humor integrated with everything and I think that's going to be inherent in all I do," he says.
Cheri Lovedog
OUTSIDE HER small tattoo studio on Ocean Street, Cheri Huber, known by just about everyone as "Lovedog," sits at a small table reading a copy of a high-school zine, The Finger, and smokes a cigarette in between dealing with customers. Tattooed across her fists, one letter per finger, are the words "PRAY" and "PREY," perhaps fitting symbols of her current art and her past life in Hollywood, which she calls "violent, crazy, weird."
"I've seen people murdered and stabbed," she says. "You start living with it. My writing and drawing is definitely reflective of that ugliness."
Huber, 38, cut her teeth as a rhythm guitarist 15 years ago in an all-girl punk band also called Lovedog (no coincidence). She is now the guitarist and frontwoman for all-female rock trio X-Girl 13.
"When I do anything for the band, I have real strong visuals that go with it," says Huber of the connections she finds between her art and music. "I've also taken song titles or words and incorporated them in drawings."
Influenced heavily by the old "Sailor Jerry" tattoo style, Huber's work is iconographic, based around bold lettering, intricate patterns and religious symbols. Though Huber is not Catholic, and calls herself agnostic, she regularly incorporates the crucifix, the sacred heart and images from the Mexican memorial holiday Dia de los Muertos.
"I'm compelled to draw religious stuff because I'm always searching for something beyond, and also in music, you write about what you're searching for," she says. "Music is a form of expression that's intangible--you play it and it's gone. But art is there forever."
Johnny Mojo
THE NOW-DEFUNCT Diesel Queens once provided the ultimate in punk performance art and, as the band's drummer and artistic scribe, John Munnerlyn, a.k.a "Johnny Mojo," was in the thick of it. "Our reputation far exceeds reality. It gets all twisted and blown out of proportion," recalls the 32-year-old. "Basically, there was nudity on stage and bodily fluids involved. We just wanted to offend everyone and make fun of ourselves, mostly."
For nine years, Mojo has worked at Santa Cruz Skateboards, where he now heads the art department. He started playing guitar at 13 and switched to drums for the Diesel Queens. "I had the opportunity to start from scratch and learn to play on stage," he says. "It was a total nightmare."
Mojo, who wears his brown hair in a modest rockabilly-style coif, has drawn since childhood, and much of his artistic energy has been directed toward music and skateboarding. His repertoire includes record covers, T-shirts, skate decks and show posters. "With art, you can totally control the outcome," says Mojo. "Music is way more energy. I enjoyed playing live more than doing art."
Actually, with the Queens, Mojo had the opportunity to do both. He made backdrops for the band, remote-controlled "Femme-bots" and live lyric sheets. "Diesel Queens were a whole performance spectacle," he says. "We had a song, 'I Like Cheese.' I illustrated the lyrics with drawings, and Velvy would peel them off as he sang them. Those became collectors items. After a while, we had so many shows I had to photocopy them."

The researchers, Giovanna Mallucci and colleagues, reported their findings in the February 1, 2007 issue of the journal Neuron, published by Cell Press.
Prion disease—such as the version of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease believed to be contracted from cattle with "mad cow disease"—is caused by aberrant, infective proteins. It has been thought that the disease is untreatable.
However, in previous studies with prion-infected mice, Mallucci and colleagues found that early brain degeneration can be reversed if prions are depleted in neurons.
In the new studies published in Neuron, they established that cognitive and behavioral impairments—which appear early in humans with prion disease—can be reversed if prion depletion is done early. What's more, they found that the neurological pathology of the disease is reversed along with the cognitive and behavioral deficits.
In their studies, the researchers measured the effects of prion disease on the animals?ability to discriminate novel objects in their cage and on normal burrowing behavior. In both cases, deficits in those abilities appeared early in the disease. Also, studies of the animals?brain tissue revealed a parallel impairment of signaling among brain cells.
However, when the researchers manipulated the animals to deplete their brains of the prion protein, their memory ability and burrowing behavior recovered. Importantly, found the researchers, the signaling among brain cells also recovered.
"Overall, we conclude that the dramatic benefits

Ewwww a self portrait.
Fun piece I did last minute to complete my portfolio. Yes I used another book for my artistic devices, but I have no regrets.
The Terrorist by Caroline B. Cooney
art- Holly H.
No... I'm not trying to say I'm a threat or anything like that lD;;
Rated 5 / 5 stars
You draw in books? You bastard!
Lol, I'm joking. Although, I like to think books too precious to draw in. Then again, thats a cool idea, drawing in books.
Plus I wouldn't mind reading a book with an amazing self portrait like that.
Heh, I know. At least this one is not as vile a crime as that book cutting project I did xD

The long sleeved one-piece is made from 5 mm double-lined neoprene and has a strong YKK back zip with Aquastop under zip lining to minimize water infiltrations. The seals at the wrists and ankles are made with the Aquastop system which uses seals in smooth 2 mm neoprene, covered in Metallite. The legs are pre-shaped to guarantee an extremely easy kick. There are anti-wear inserts on the knee and shin area. The short-sleeved jacket, in 3.5 mm neoprene, has a zip fastener up to the face and an incorporated hood. To limit the entrance of water it has a smooth neoprene seal along the outline of the face.
